Iran says its Hormuz ceasefire terms unchanged as war hits 7-month mark

Iran said Sunday its conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz remain unchanged after President Trump rejected its ceasefire proposal, which offered to halt shipping attacks and resume nuclear talks in exchange for lifting the US naval blockade. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran is ready to restart fighting, even a "doomsday war," but remains open to diplomacy. Trump told Axios he still expects renewed talks this week, though neither side has signaled willingness to shift its demands as the war reaches seven months.
